It's still early in this new myAOL beta, but so far we've been getting great feedback. I'm most excited about all the content and features we'll be adding in the coming months so you can add more of your favorites things to your page - like Gmail, Netflix, Mapquest, Local News, Theaters and so much more.

In the meantime, there are some pretty creative things you can do with the features we've already launched. Here are some things I've done within my own pages.

1) I created a page called FRIENDS.
- To see comments people have left on my Flickr pictures, I used the Add Any Feed widget and the feed URL that Flickr offers it's users.
- Using the same Add Any Feed widget, I also added the Flickr feed for my friend's pictures.
- For both I changed the module option so that it shows both Headlines & Summaries - so it shows the pictures. Here's how they look (below).

Friends Pictures Widget

- I also added the Facebook widget from the Google Gadget section.
- Again using the Add Any Feed module, I added Buddy Feeds for my friends. Learn about your Buddy Feed here.

2) I wanted my FRIENDS page to have other updates on it too, so here's what I did.
- I created a folder called "friends" in Favorites, and added feed URLS from Facebook, Twitter and my friends blogs.
- Then I selected the folder and clicked the Mix & Share button, clicked the Share button and then selected the URL that it displayed.
- I copied that URL and pasted it into a new Add a Feed module on my page.

3) I created another new page called SUGAR and filled it with all the fun PopSugar content. You can see all the PopSugar content here.

Here's what part of my page looks like...

4) I added the Photos "Ready Made Page", and using the AOL Public Galleries module, I changed the option to Tag and typed in Maine. Now i can view all the new photos other people are uploading and tagging "maine". Experiment with tags to find something you might like.
